Anything heat-loving and plants that don't require much water. I'd look up praire plants, I know there's a prarie nursery in the US with a great website and a list, but I don't remember the name. Try google There are lot's of flowers you could use, like Echinaea varieties for example.

at least here in new york its a bit more complicated than that. the plants get a lot of heat during the day from the surrounding concrete and asphalt but they should be hearty through our winters. also, while the soil dries out quickly we do get a lot of rain.

i'm hoping to start a good discussion and hear what solutions have worked for people.
